Import formatted label list into Outlook Contacts
We maintain a modest 1000 records/contacts for the specific purpose of
mailing news letters. These contacts were mistakingly added to another more extensive list of contacts. In order to reintegrate these to our original newsletter list we will need to do it "by hand." We do have a merged-labels file containing all of the contacts in question. Is there a way to automatically take these labels and recreate the contact group in outlook? |

Perhaps you mean a Contact folder or perhaps you mean a Distribution List. Only you know the answer to that. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Unclear post.
Clarify what you mean by a "contacts list." Outlook uses no such term. Clarify what you mean by "a merged-labels file" -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Juanbal" wrote in message ...

My apologies. I do mean a Contact Folder or subfolder in this case, but not
a distribution list. -- Juanbal "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "Juanbal" wrote in message ... We maintain a modest 1000 records/contacts for the specific purpose of mailing news letters.

Import formatted label list into Outlook Contacts
I mean a contact folder. By merged label file I mean a Word Doc file that
contains the 1000 contacts formatted as labels and ready to be printed as labels to affix to the newsletters for regular USPS mail. Each label in that file represents an individual contact: Name, company, address, city, state and zip code. My question: is there a way that I can use the information on each one of those labels and recreate the contacts in "Outlook contacts?" -- Juanbal "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Unclear post.

Thank you Diane for the resources. I will look and see and get back if I
find any thing. -- Juanbal "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: file, import to make separate contacts or see http://slipstick.com/Tutorials/create/dl.asp to add them to a DL. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

At the time you create a merge document, you can save it as a document to be
reused if you want. You'd need to post in a Word group if you need more details. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Juanbal" wrote in message ... I mean a contact folder.

Import formatted label list into Outlook Contacts
I am not making myself clear. One more try.
1.) I had a Contacts folder with a thousand contacts. 2.) I merged these contacts into a Word document containing the one thousand contacts. 3.) Subsequent to this merge, we inadvertently deleted (for the sake of argument) all one thousand contacts from the Contacts folder. 4.) Now, all we have is the merged document containing the contacts. 5.) We can cut and paste unto outlook contacts one by one; or is there an easier way to do this that would not require such labor intensive effort? I apologize for expressing myself this way. I truly do appreciate your effort Russ. If we have to do it "by hand" so be it. I was looking for an easier way of doing it. Thank you again. -- Juanbal "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: At the time you create a merge document, you can save it as a document to be reused if you want.

Then you may have to manipulate the data somewhat. Save As a CSV file and import that directly to Outlook. Good luck! -- Asking a question?
